I harvest and process domestically produced (Nagano Prefecture) white birch bark myself. These are cute, rustic, yet eye-catching natural accessories. Enjoy the light and gentle atmosphere. The bark has been cut out and shaped into houses. White birch bark changes to a darker color over time. It is relatively water-resistant, but somewhat sensitive to dryness. To prevent cracking, occasionally wipe it lightly with a plant-based oil (such as grapeseed or olive oil) to maintain its supple texture.
